I've found that it's much worse for languages like rust than it is for things like typescript and python. The thing AI seems to be really great at is writing boilerplate code like argument parsing for CLI tools.

Less boilerplate writing is fine by me.

I actually have found it significantly worse at python than typescript, I think it's the indentation for scope vs. explicit brackets that screws it up (at least in my experience).

I wonder if that is simply due to orders of magnitude less training data for rust code. Python and JavaScript are ubiquitous. While rust is 7 years old and makes up less than 2% of the code on GitHub.
